Harrison County Man...Third Fatality Of 2010 Hunting Season
WEST VIRGINIA....
Natural Resources Police say 70 year old Ronald Tate of Salem in Harrison County was discovered dead in the woods he hunted in Lewis County late Thursday afternoon, making him the third fatality of the 2010 hunting season in West Virginia. Investigators say it appears Tate died of injuries suffered in a fall from his tree stand. Investigators say Tate was not wearing a safety harness at the time he fell. His hunting rifle was still on his four-wheeler at the base of the tree. Of the three fatal accidents during the 2010 season, two have involved falls from tree stands.
